• Part 1: MR physics (Virginia Flanagin)
• Part 2: Experimental Design (Monica Emch)
• Part 3: fMRI data analysis (Virginia Flanagin
• Part 4: Tutorial for data analysis (Joshua Yudice)

An introduction to the theory and practice of functional and structural neuroimaging, with a combination of lectures, hands on experience with MRI, and data analysis methods including: functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), morphometry and structural imaging including diffusion tensor imaging, simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG), and data analysis with e.g. SPM12. This is a unique opportunity to get to know the newest techniques in the field of neuroimaging, and learn about the type of research that is being done in this area in a number of different faculties around Munich.
